AutoCAD Inventor :: Renumber Balloons For ILogic?
Sep 1, 2011
I want to add the Balloon Renumbering function to our templates using iLogic, but when I run it I get an error message saying: "The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))". I have narrowed it down and think it has to do with the following line: partInfo(i - 1).Number = drawBOMRow.Item(itemColumn).Value. When I remove that line I don't get an error message, but every balloon is set to item no 0. The function I want to achieve with the code is to renumber separate part files against the assembly BOM.
Public Structure udtPartInfo Public udNumber As Integer Public ReferencedFile As String End Structure Sub Main() Dim drawDoc As DrawingDocument drawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument Dim baseSheet As Sheet baseSheet = drawDoc.Sheets.Item(1) Dim valSet As BalloonValueSet
[code]....

I want to use iLogic to:
1.Sort an assembly BOM by Part Number.
2. Renumber Items in the BOM as sorted.
3. Sort a drawing Parts list by item number.
The background to my problem is that i have an assembly which is working beautifully turning components on and off (suppressing/activating in LOD reps) as defined by iLogic rules (iLogic is awesome). The problem is whenever a part is turned on/activated again, it shows up at the bottom of the BOM and Parts list out of order (would be nice if parts went back in the list where they came from).

Since I used Autodesk Inventor 2013 last year, I had an question about numbering en renumbering the count of elements in patterns.
I had an assembly with iLogic for placing and replacing elements, suppressing parts and edit dimensions of parts in 1 assembly. Sometimes, 1 suppressed pattern must be un-suppressed. Before doing this, I would like to set the pattern count and distances between pattern elements in the pattern. How can I do it by using iLogic?

I have a situation where there was a modified balloon with an overridden part number that was causing some confusion. Is it possible to toggle a setting, like how you can select Overridden Inventor dimensions, to find any overridden balloon objects? Need to save some time performing a manual, visual search.

Any easy or more reliable way of getting balloons to stay in the direction you want?
In the image i've attached you can see what normally happens when dragging a balloon in position on the left and what i desire (and accomplish after a lengthy fight) on the right.
Is there a way to make a balloon (3.30.4 in this case) go into the desired direction without having to fight with it?

(check out the attached .bmp for clarity)
I need to either add a custom balloon to a 3D wiring harness (made of individual wires) or add a split balloon (showing item number then sheet number) to my layout. What I have now is a 3D harness with all my connectors shown on it and a balloon calling out what connector it is. I want to attach a custom split balloon to my connector callouts to reference the wire and sheet number of another sheet in the same project. I should also mention that there are tons of connectors that as far as Inventor is concerned is the same model.
I've already created a user symbol to attemp to work around it but I can't attach the custom symbol to the existing balloon.
Secondly, why can't I attached a balloon to the 3D harness anyway. I also can't add a balloon to the nailboard view either!

How do you show associated BOM quantities on balloons in the drawing?

I want my custom property to defined as item #. That Item # then is represented in the balloon.
reasoning is that then engineers wont have to check drawings anymore for the guess work involved in matching the part balloon to each individual part in the assembly being called out.
I can then focus on creating a BOM that shows the different item#'s and the user can quickly go through it.

We want to ensure that a balloon callout exists for every item in the parts list (BOM) in our assembly drawings. Is there a way to easily do this?
Currently, if we have an assembly with 30 parts, we manually search for each of the 30 BOM balloon to verify that none were missed. Since the balloons are not in order, balloon 5 could be on page 2 while 6 is on page 8. This method is often time-consuming and error prone.
It probably goes without saying, but if ballons are missed, then assemblers have nothing to show them were the parts go and either come ask us or guess.

How to make Quantity to be represented less precise in the balloon.
I mean to make less zeros after the dot. The upper balloon row is Quantity.

In Inventor 2012, you could choose Balloon, select a part, click at some location and the Balloon was placed and finished. Now in Inventor 2013 you have to right-click and choose Continue. The same applies, when you want to place a Leader Text (and maybe elsewhere as well).
Why do we suddenly have to make two additional clicks compared to Inventor 2012. It doesn't work, that you can press Enter instead of the additional mouse clicks.
And why is the Open Drawing moved to second level. The Marking Menu is of no use, especially not in the tree browser.
Why do you Inventor designers make such changes that make Inventor more annoying to operate compared to the previous version. It should be the other way around....like the brilliant inclusion of Open Drawing.

The company I am working for has dragged their CAD kicking and screaming into the late nineties and have upgraded to 3D! Recreate their drawings using 3D models, I have noticed the symbol gallery doesn't provide such things as Rev Balloons or Rev Triangles.

way to renumber an entire sheet set without having to stop at each subset? Currently, I right click on a sheet and select "rename & renumber". The Rename and Renumber dialog box pops up and I type "1" then click on "next", type "2", "next", and so on. This continues until the end of the subset, the stops. Then I have to right click on a sheet in the next subset and start over.
I want to renumber the whole plan set without stopping at each subset. Obviously, I can get rid of the subsets, but that isn't my question. I want to keep the subsets and have the ability to renumber the whole set.

If you have a collection of balloons you can make them go horizontal or vertical. Is there any way you can make the balloons to go in a 45° angle?

Trying to create a multileader callout that doesn't have a landing and the leader axis passes through the center of the ballon circle and not the side. Most the CAD applications I have worked with don't use leaders with "Landings".

Is there a system variable that disable the "Rename and Renumber Sheet" dialogue box from appearing when double clicking on layout tab of current drawing which is part of sheet set?
I used to be able to just double click on a layout tab and change it. This dialogue box can't seem to edit it if the drawing is open. We use the layout the tab as current revision of drawing.
I know I accidentally click on yes before when it asked me if I want to use the dialogue box to edit layout tabs but can't seem to find anything on how to disable it.

How to automatically renumber the sheets if re-sorting occurs?
I’m not sure if there is a way to automatically renumber the sheets in sequential order in case of re-sorting the sheets. This might occur very often during the work!
For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to re-numbering the sheets AUTOMATICALLY such that the numbers of the sheets starts from 1 to 6.
Then how to automatically re-number the sheets in sequential order automatically?

I was looking for a tutorial to make balloons and I found a link in here by Jeff that showed one, but the link is no longer active. If anyone can help me make these balloons I would really appreciate it. Currently I only have PSE 4 but am hoping to soon get PSCS2.

I am trying to rename/renumber a folder of 100 pictures, so they are all in 3 digits, but remain in the order & have the same number associated with the same file. Right now the folder is numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.. I attempted to do the batch rename through Photoshop to make the folder 001, 002, 003.etc, BUT when I did this, the first picture 1 turned into 001..which is great...but the old 2 turns into 002, but is actually what 10 used to be.
19 turns into 011 instead of 019
40 turns into 035 instead of 040
Why is Photoshop changing the original number to a 3 digit, but changing the number it should have been. I just want it to be 001, 002, 003, 004, 005, 006, 007, 008, 009, 010, 011, 012..

is there a quick way how to renumber or batch rename all layers in a file so they would be named in consequent numbers? Doesn't have to start from exact number, I was wondering if maybe there is some sort of script that would work?

I'm trying to use iLogic Design Copy to copy an assembly and all its associated parts to another directory. The assembly contains content center parts. Inventor warns me that the destination file of one of the CC parts (and 18 others) will be overwritten. When I go ahead and copy anyway, the copying process stops at that specific CC part. The Design Copy Progress dialog box states there is an error copying that CC part. When I close the Design Copy Progress dialog box, Inventor crashes.
The error copying the CC part: I'm allowed to use content center parts in iLogic Design Copied stuff, right? I searched some related topics and I'm under the impression that Inventor keeps the CC parts in its own directory and shouldn't be trying to overwrite them.

I am doing a tie rod the issue I have is when the length is between 2.001 and 2.250 we would drill thru all but only tap the ends .750 deep. If the part is 2.000 would would drill and tap thru in one step and not have to rotate the part in the lathe.
How do I get ilogic to understand if my number is between this 2.001 and 2.250 to lengthen the drill length parameter?Or add a mid plane cut? ( trying now code below reflects this try)
Not sure what way I want yet but I just can't seem to find a snippet or code to do this. I tried to add a list in the parameters for it to read but seems to do nothing.
If LENGTH <= "2" ThenFeature.IsActive("Thru_All") = TrueFeature.IsActive("Hole_A") = FalseFeature.IsActive("Hole_B") = FalseiProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = "RETURN ROLLER SHAFT, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "DIAM") & " Ø S/S, TAP THRU 3/8-16, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH") & " LONG"ElseFeature.IsActive("Thru_All") = FalseFeature.IsActive("Hole_A") = TrueFeature.IsActive("Hole_B") = TrueiProperties.Value("Project", "Description") = "RETURN ROLLER SHAFT, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "DIAM") & " Ø S/S, TAP BOTH ENDS 3/8-16, " & iProperties.Value("Custom", "LENGTH") & " LONG"End IfIf LENGTH = (My_List) ThenFeature.IsActive("Mid_Cut") = TrueElse Feature.IsActive("Mid_Cut") = FalseEnd If
